See & Do
See & DoCounty Wicklow is the Garden of Ireland and there are plenty of grand estates around here to prove it. Nearby Mount Usher Gardens – a blaze of colour in late spring – are beautifully set off by the river Varty, while Powerscourt House has impressive mountain views and manicured lawns. Killruddery House (the film setting of Becoming Jane and My Left Foot) dates back to the 17th century, while Kilmacurragh Arboretum is famous for its conifers and exotic species.
Golfers should head to the magnificent 18-hole Druid’s Glen – just one of 15 18-hole courses in the vicinity. You can also ride and hill walk in the Wicklow Mountains. If you’re missing the bright lights, Dublin is just an hour’s drive away.
